📋 About This Mod

The Gladius is a weapon used by Roman warriors. And people running around post apocalypse Boston, apparently.

Weapon has 17 base damage, 3 mods apart from the base blade (The same as vanilla swords) and is added to Leveled Lists on raiders.

If you want to see it in action, check out my video below. I appreciate it ;)

I mean.. I just paste this description into all my mods, but there really isn't anything to add to this mod. Maybe if I'm feeling especially productive one day I'll add another hilt, but other then that this section is just for show.

Please report any issues you have to me in the comments or bugs section right away, I'll fix it I swear

Also, user submitted screenshots are always welcome! I love getting this, and I'll pop your name in the bottom right and put them in the official mod screenshots if they're really pretty.

Also, if you make music, contact me dude. I can use some mellow music as background music for my videos.

- This is clearly not a Gladius, it's a leaf sword from Runescape

- I don't believe you.

- This weapon isn't showing up, raiders don't spawn with it, but they spawn with another weapon.

- You need to make a Bashed/Merged patch in FO4Edit, yo. I've got a video for you.

- snarky copypasta comment

- sarcastic retort

- This texture is too clean/too dirty

- You're too clean/too dirty

- I love you so much that I want to support you in every way I can, but I also am poor.

  • Check out my other mods, or my twitter/youtube pages. Give Nick and I some love, it's much appreciated! :)
  • Especially the youtube page. I want to make youtube work.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's an older mod, check if you're using Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition—you may need to convert the mod or find a compatible version.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it manually and place the ESP in your load order; it's a simple weapon mod so load order shouldn't matter much.
  • To guarantee finding the sword, use the console command 'help gladius' to get the ID, then 'player.additem' to spawn it.
